David Moyes sends defiant transfer message amid West Ham bids for Lucas Paqueta and Hans Vanaken

David Moyes has claimed there is little value in Britain for homegrown players for West Ham while making it clear that he will not try to persuade players to join the club.

Of the seven players who have joined the Hammers, only one has been British - Flynn Downes from England. And it looks like the club are choosing to buy foreign players with bids placed for Brazilian international Lucas Paqueta and Belgian Hans Vanaken.
